Answer:

in nuclear fusion deep in the interiors of stars

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion -

It is the type of reaction , where two or more atomic nuclei of the atom merges together to release two or more different nuclei along with some subatomic particles , is referred to as a nuclear fusion reaction .

The reaction can very well be done on stars , because of very high energy .

Hence , a nuclear fusion occurs deep inside the stars .

A sample of mercury has a mass of 607.0 lb and a volume of 0.717 ft. What is its specific gravity? Number SG= What are the units
stepan [7]

Answer:

Specific gravity of mercury is 13.56 and it is an unit-less quantity.

Explanation:

Mass of the mercury = m = 607.0 lb = 275330.344 g

1 lb = 453.592 g

Volume of the mercury  = v = 0.717 ft^3=20,303.18 mL

1 ft^3 = 28316.847 mL

Density of the mercury = d=\frac{m}{v}=\frac{275330.344  g}{20,303.18 mL}

d = 13.56 g/mL

Specific gravity of substance = Density of substance ÷ Density of water

S.G=\frac{d}{1 g/mL}

Specific gravity of mercury :

S.G=\frac{13.56 g/mL}{1 g/mL}=13.56 (unit-less quantity)

1. Which list of nuclear emissions is arranged in order from the least penetrating power to
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

A) alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray

Explanation:

Alpha beta and gamma radiations are the examples of ionizing radiations. When an atom is an excited state and having high energy, the atom is in unstable state. The excess of energy is released by the atom to get the stability. The released energy is in the form of radiations which may include alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray etc.

Properties of alpha radiation:  

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

Beta radiations:  

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminum is used to block the beta radiation

⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.  

Gamma radiations:

Gamma radiations are high energy radiations having no mass.

These radiations are travel at the speed of light.

Gamma radiations can penetrate into the many materials.

These radiations are also used to treat the cancer.

Lead is used for the protection  against gamma radiations because of its high molecular density.

The lead apron are used by the person when treated with gamma radiations.

Lead shields are also used in the wall, windows and doors of the room where gamma radiations are treated, in-order to protect the surroundings.

(a) if a sample containing 2.00 ml of nitroglycerin is detonated, how many total moles of gas are produced? (b) if each mole of
gregori [183]
Detonation of nitroglycerin: 

4C_3H_5N_3O_9  ------\ \textgreater \  12CO_2+6N_2+O_2+H_2O

<span>Mass nitroglycerin = 2.00 mL x 1.592 g/mL = 3.184 g 
</span>
Moles = mass / molar mass = 3.184<span> g/ 227.0872 g/mol = 0.01402
</span>
the ratio between nitroglycerin and Carbon dioxide is 4 : 12 
So, moles CO2 = 0.01402 x 12 / 4 =0.0420

the ratio between nitroglycerin and N2 is 4 : 6 
moles N2 = 0.01402 x 6 / 4 =0.0841

<span>the ratio between nitroglycerin and O2 is 4 : 1 </span>
moles O2 = 0.01402 x 1 / 4 = 0.0035

<span>the ratio between nitroglycerin and water is 4 : 1 </span>
<span>in the same way moles water = 0.005258 </span>

total moles = 0.0420 + 0.0841 + 0.0035 + 0.005258 = 0.130758

0.130758<span> x 55 = 5.78 L </span>

Mass N2 = 0.0841 mol x 28.0134 g/mol = 2.3548 g

The isotope of an atom containing 31 protons and 39 neutrons suddenly has two neutrons added to it.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Gallium-72

Explanation:

The elements are identified by the number of protons of the atom, which is its atomic number.

In this case the number of protons 39 (atomic number 39) permit you to identify the element as gallium.

Now, to identify the isotope you tell the name of the element and add the mass number.

The mass number is the sum of the protons and the neutrons

In this case, the number of neutrons is the original 39 plus the 2 added suddenly, i.e. 39 + 2 = 41, so the mass number is 31 + 41 = 72

Therefore, the isotope is gallium - 72.
